He was hiking in a National Park in Clatsop County, Oregon. He's been missing for over two weeks now. A massive search and rescue effort was conducted by the Sheriff's Office and no trace has been found. The Search and Rescue effort has been suspended and no further, organized, county efforts are planned. He has been entered in the national data base of Missing Persons.

he probably got attacked by a bear and is hurt somewhere, dont stop or declare hes dead till you find a body or bones, most missing people who got lost in the woods are stuck somewhere and need help, dont give up so soon, i would never!!

I'm going to assume that you may be concerned about financial obligations such as mortgage and credit card payments.
If the suggestions of more sinister plots on your part are true, then just call it a day and turn yourself in. Looking for help to facilitate a crime on this forum means you are moments away from spending a lifetime in jail.
Call each and everyone of your brothers creditors, and explain the situation. Have any and all police records available so they can validate any information.
You may be the family member who takes the hit whenever poop hits the fan for others, and you want to protect your own family and their future. If this is the case, any cash spent on legal advice is money well spent in the long run. Not what you want to hear, but it is the only way to go for a family man.

I am sorry to hear your brother is missing.
Check with the Sheriffs office about how to go about finding out about when he can be legally declared dead.
Do remember that people go missing for a good many reasons and some of them go missing on purpose. So don't be too quick to draw any conclusions.
I am sure there are some good legal reasons why this remaining undeclared may make life harder for you or other members of his family but don't jump too quickly to any conclusion.

In most places it takes 7 years for a person to be missing before they can be declared as dead. This is to prevent persons from faking their deaths in order to collect on life insurance. You need to talk to an attorney or a state agency to get details for your area.

He has to be missing 7 years before any form of death certificate can be issued. You can place him as missing, and i think get documentation to enable you to pay the house mortgage (if it is in his name), and the like.
You probably will not be able to get insurances from any broker intil the 7 years are up (or everyone will dissappear and claim insurances!)

The Coroner is the only man or woman who can authorise the issuing of a dying certificates. If her husband has been convicted of her homicide, this could not be a difficulty. you will ought to touch the Coroner's place of work interior the section the place the two she lived or is suspected of having been murdered.

Talk to an attorney in your state. I believe you have to wait an extended period of time, however, there have been changes to these laws recently.
